This episode is a chain of absurd situations and choices

SPOILERS AHEAD! Starting with Soo Ryun showing her emotions and calling Logan right after Dan Tae told her that he's looking for the one responsible for the mannequin incident. It was obvious that he's gonna do it so the whole situation looks like a joke. Next we have Yoon Hee comming to Seo Jin's house asking her to give her some time. I think the writer is trying to convince us that Yoon Hee is completely stupid? After all their history she should know that it's just a waste of time. Also dragging Ro Na to teachers office to make a scene about her daughter maybe being forced is unnecessary and illogical as well. It seems like Yoon Hee is just doing stupid things without thinking and no plan. She seems to have learned anything from the past and it's a weird writer's decision asit's hard for the viewers to symphatize with such character. Another example of a ridiculous situation is Mr Go being so easy to follow to the hotel where he's staying and then Dan Tae just letting him go, knowing he's got Soo Min's phone. Then yet again we see Yoon Hee and Seo Jin having a meal together which seems to play into Yoon Hee's favour in the end but that's just by luck. What was the original Yoon Hee's plan behind it? What was she trying to achieve knowing Seo Jin's father so far? That's why i rate this episode so low. There's just too many situations that were odd or at least they were presented in a way that breaks the immersion.

The Ressurected Comeback?

I feel like giving everyone in Fu Huo Dao (Revival Island) a chance was such a bad move from the GM. I understand ShenYue, Hou Ming Hao and the other person having a chance because they won a game, and thankfully my favourite survivors (considering Wu Qi Long), Zhang Da Da and Cao Huan Dong, beat them. Shi Ming Hao is not changing my mind of his bad first impression after stealing Hou Ming Hao's light earlier and now this. Anyways, I don't understand why so many others, like Xiu, got the chance to come out. I hate the VIP IQiyi thing, it limits normal users by so much, and I hate how so many parts have clearly been cut out, albeit understandable.

Inicio promissor

O drama tem uma premissa instigante, prezando pela sutileza tanto nos segredos que ainda virão quanto nos que já foram apresentados. É difícil realizar uma análise mais ampla dos personagens, pois acredito que alguns são apenas participações especiais. No entanto, ao meu ver, está claro que Seon Hui não foi quem colocou fogo no prédio do orfanato. Suspeito que foram seus pais adotivos em um momento de surto, e ela foi responsabilizada. O casal, então, em um ato de altruísmo cínico, decidiu adotá-la e deixou que ela levasse a culpa pelo incidente.Assim, sua melhor amiga acredita que Seon Hui é culpada e que deve pagar por isso. O trio jovem masculino é composto por atores que geralmente protagonizam seus dramas, o que me faz duvidar que algum deles seja apenas uma participação especial. Merece menção honrosa a atuação da atriz mirim que interpreta Su Yeon na infância, um talento incrível que já conhecia de "Escape of Seven".A direção é de um diretor nativamente japonês, o que acredito ser uma novidade em dramas coreanos, sendo a primeira vez que um diretor estrangeiro assume esse papel de forma integral. As cenas foram bem dirigidas e cuidadosamente elaboradas. Vamos seguir acompanhando.

Yet another time obvious things are being said

I don't like when obvious things are being said by the characters just for the viewers. It seems disrespectful towards the audience. I hope Bo Na's decision will finally lead to a confrontation with her mother as I don't like watching her being bullied by Eun Byul (BTW I don't like Choi Ye Bin's acting here - she overdid it in my opinion). I hoped that things will become more complicated if Soo Ryun and Logan would not cooperate with each other. However it's nice that Dan Tae and Gyu Jin know that Mr Go got Seol Ah's phone. Dan Tae also knows that his wife met with Logan in private. These two facts open more possibilities for the story to progress and keeps the viewers hooked - I liked it.
